After lunch, the family sat in the living room and enjoyed a warm moment.
Mother Chen was very interested in Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters' life in the countryside, and wanted to know if they had a hard time there.
Although through letters, the two sisters also described their life in the countryside.
But the two sisters' descriptions were very different from what she knew. She felt that the two sisters would only report good news and not bad news, and would not tell her even if they suffered in the countryside.
Zhou Ziwen talked about their experiences in the countryside.
For example, how he learned the knowledge of growing mushrooms, and then with the support of the production team, he built a mushroom house, and finally got the two sisters to work in the mushroom house.
"In fact, growing mushrooms is not an easy task. It requires controlling the temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions. Through practice and learning, we have gradually mastered a set of effective growing methods." Zhou Ziwen explained seriously.
Mother Chen listened with great interest, nodding in agreement from time to time. She could tell that Zhou Ziwen was not only smart and capable, but also passionate about his work.
"Ziwen, you are amazing. You can make such good use of the resources in the countryside." Mother Chen said approvingly.
Zhou Ziwen smiled modestly, "Mom, this is all thanks to everyone's joint efforts. The villagers in the countryside are very simple and honest, and they also gave us a lot of help."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying also joined the discussion, sharing what they had seen and heard in the countryside. The family chatted lively and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"By the way, Ziwen, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Aunt Chen asked with concern.
"We plan to stay for about a week and then go back." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"That's great, our family can finally get together."
Speaking of this, Mother Chen thought of Father Chen who was still suffering, and her mood suddenly became depressed.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi knew their mother very well, and they knew what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
Zhou Ziwen also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he spoke to comfort her, "Mom, don't worry about Dad. I'll go back in a few days and find a way to see Dad."
This was something Zhou Ziwen had thought of a long time ago.
After all, Dad Chen didn't make any serious mistakes. He was just unlucky and was implicated.
In his case, it's not difficult to go and visit him.
Of course, if it were an ordinary person, it would probably be a bit troublesome to visit, so Zhou Ziwen planned to find someone to help.
It just so happens that after he returns this time, he will go to visit Zhou Chaoyang's uncle. When the time comes, he will mention this matter. I believe that Uncle Zhou will be happy to help.
After all, he was just visiting his relatives and it didn't involve any sensitive issues.
Not to mention that Zhou Ziwen also helped him with his medical treatment, which greatly improved his condition. Just based on his relationship with Zhou Chaoyang, Uncle Zhou was also willing to help him.
"Ziwen, can you really go see Lao Chen?"
Hearing this, Chen Ma's eyes lit up.
"It's not a big problem. I can find someone to help." Zhou Ziwen nodded, then explained Zhou Chaoyang's identity, and then explained how he helped Uncle Zhou with his medical treatment.
Chen Ma is an editor at a newspaper. Although Zhou Ziwen did not explain Zhou Bo's identity in detail, she could understand the power that such a person represented.
"Ziwen, thank you for your help." Mother Chen was very worried about Father Chen.
The living conditions where Chen's father lives are even more difficult than those of Zhou Ziwen and his friends.
When she heard that Zhou Ziwen was planning to visit, she agreed without thinking.
"Mom, don't say that. We are all family, there's no need to be so formal." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Yes, Mom, don't worry! Brother Ziwen is very capable."
Chen Qiaoyi was also there to comfort her.
"Good, good, good boy."
Mother Chen was moved and took Zhou Ziwen's hand.
The afternoon sun shines through the window onto the living room floor, adding a touch of warmth to this cozy scene.
Mother Chen's eyes were filled with gratitude and relief. She gently patted the back of Zhou Ziwen's hand and continued:
"Ziwen, I'm really touched that you think this way. Old Chen has always been worried about our family, especially about your life in the countryside."
"We are very happy that you came back this time and brought so many gifts. I didn't expect you would still think of visiting him. This is really great."
Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile: "Mom, this is what I should do."
Chen Shiying also echoed, "Mom, since Ziwen agreed to go see Dad, don't worry."
Chen Qiaoyi also comforted her, "Yes, Mom, you have to take care of yourself too!"
After hearing this, Chen's eyes couldn't help but redden, but then she forced a smile: "Well, I'm fine, I just miss your father a little, and I'm worried that he's suffering over there."
In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi spent an unforgettable time in Hangzhou.
In order to accompany them, Mother Chen took a few days off.
Mother Chen accompanied them to visit the beautiful scenery of West Lake, taste the delicious food in Hangzhou, and visit the nearby ancient town together.
Wherever she went, Aunt Chen would be filled with emotion, telling stories about her youth and the changes in Hangzhou.
Zhou Ziwen also took the opportunity to introduce his family situation to Chen Ma in detail, including his parents, older sister, younger sister, and his experiences in the countryside.
Mother Chen listened attentively and got to know Zhou Ziwen's family better.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. The night before leaving Hangzhou, Zhou Ziwen had a long talk with Chen Ma.
He once again assured Mother Chen that he would arrange to visit Father Chen as soon as possible and would write to her regularly to report on the situation.
Mother Chen held Zhou Ziwen's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Ziwen, you are such a good child. I feel really relieved to have you by Qiaoyi's side. Remember to say hello to my in-laws on my behalf and tell them that Qiaoyi is doing well here with us and they don't need to worry."
Zhou Ziwen nodded solemnly: "Mom, I will. You should also take care of yourself. We will come to see you next time."
The next morning, Zhou Ziwen, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi reluctantly said goodbye to Chen Ma and embarked on the journey back to the old city.
The train started slowly. Zhou Ziwen looked at the scenery of Hangzhou gradually disappearing outside the window, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
This visit allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi's family, and also allow him to feel Chen's mother's love and expectations for them.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi sat next to Zhou Ziwen, and they also felt a little complicated.
On the one hand, they were reluctant to leave their mother; on the other hand, they also wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible and visit their father.
"Ziwen, it's all thanks to you that Mom is so happy this time." Chen Shiying said softly.
"Yes, Brother Ziwen, you are really great." Chen Qiaoyi also agreed.
Zhou Ziwen smiled and said, "This is what I should do. We are a family after all."
On the train, Zhou Ziwen and his two sisters recalled every detail of their stay in Hangzhou, laughing happily from time to time.
They talked about the beautiful scenery of West Lake, the delicious food in Hangzhou and the warm time they spent with Chen Ma.
After a long journey, the train finally arrived in Sijiucheng.
Zhou Ziwen carried his luggage and walked out of the train station with the two sisters. (End of this chapter)
